Also invited are Gov. Benigno R. Fitial, Lt. Gov. Eloy S. Inos, Speaker Arnold I. Palacios, Senate President Pete P. Reyes along with other community leaders.
In his speech, “From Federalization to Recession: The Courts in Difficult Times,” the chief justice will discuss the judiciary’s achievements, its containment of expenses and its completion of projects in the last year, including the implementation of resource and time saving technology, such as e-filing, which has become an important tool for increasing judicial efficiency.
Demapan will explain how effective and reliable courts become even more important in times when our government and the private sector are hard pressed financially, and why “public trust in the judiciary’s work is a critical component of the engine that keeps our commonwealth moving forward.”
